Ten Months & Pre-K!



I will probably cry before I'm done with this post. Sigh.....here we go.

On Sunday, July 24th, my little man turned ten months old. Do you know what that means? Less than two months until his 1st birthday!

This cannot be right! I just can't believe how FAST this past year has flown by!

Here are a few cool facts about Brantley.
-He can crawl faster than the speed of light.
-He loves to take off down the hallway to big brother's room to play with toys.
-He can pull up on anything, and is beginning to let go for a few seconds.
-He WILL NOT watch TV!
-Says, "Mama" "Dada" "Bye Bye" (while waving) and "Kitty"
-Eats anything you will give him! Some favorites are: tomatoes from the garden, steamed carrots, green beans, squash & zucchini, yogurt bites, and Kix cereal.
-Sleeps with Mommy most of the time, but is starting to use his bed sometimes.
-He gets REALLY mad when Robert tells him "no"!
-He is scared of loud people.
See? Robert got onto him about licking the table at Logan's :) Mean Daddy.

Now, onto my big baby.

Brody got into Pre-K!!!!!!!!!! After nearly two months of an agonizing wait (ha!) we got the call that he got in. The program that he will be attending is state-funded, so they take the students based on financial need first. We are by no means rich (I'll reiterate, by NO means) but my husband does make pretty decent money, so we were very nervous about him being accepted.

He starts on Monday, and we are all so excited! He needs to be in an environment like that so badly. His little mind is so sharp, and while I do work with him at home, he needs more! He needs interaction with other kids his age, and more than anything, he needs to learn to follow directions. At home, he tries to bend and test the limits of our rules.

I have a feeling it won't be very long before I get a little note saying "Brody had to go to time-out today". :) He is such a mess.

So, my babies are growing......way too fast.

Our Big Boy & Independence Day!




I hope everyone had a wonderful 4th of July! We had a great time hanging out at my husband's uncle's house with a whole bunch of family. Great food, entertaining firework show put on by the cousins, and of course, great company!

Here is a picture of my boys and my niece Bryna on the 4th, all dressed up in their patriotic attire!





Brantley had his nine month checkup today. He was nine months old on June 24th.

He weighed a little over 26 pounds (97th percentile) and was 30 inches tall (95th percentile). His head circumference was also in the 90th percentile.

He is a BIG boy!
